*Traditional Clothing
-Kimono（きもの）- The kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children. The word "kimono", which literally means a "thing to wear" (きmeans "wear" and もの means "thing"), has come to denote these full-length robes. The standard plural of the word kimono in English is kimonos, but the unmarked Japanese plural kimono is also sometimes used.
-Yukata（ゆかた）- A yukata is a Japanese garment, a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton. People wearing yukata are a common sight in Japan at fireworks displays, *bon-odori festivals, and other summer events. The yukata is also frequently worn after bathing at traditional Japanese inns. Though their use is not limited to after-bath wear, yukata literally means bath(ing) clothes.
*bon-odori festivals : Bon Odori (「ぼんおどり」盆踊り, meaning simply Bon dance) is an event held during Obon. It is celebrated as a reminder of the gratefulness one should feel toward one's ancestors.
